Lemon Chess and Chocolate Pecan Pies

As the hour for our supper gathering drew nearer last Friday night, the pressure to come up with a dessert was converted into the energy to come up with two. I brought back from the archives two delicious pies: lemon chess pie (which had not made an appearance since 2018)...

...and chocolate pecan ("blender") pie (pictured below; last made here in 2017).

Both were darned delicious, even though the chocolate pecan pie did not quite set up as it should.

The option to have a slice of each was chosen by the smarter majority of the attendees of the evening's festivities.


"Lemon Chess Pie," originally thought to be President Clinton's favorite version, but apparently it's not quite the same. My source is unknown but this link goes to the identical recipe.

"Chocolate Pecan Pie," a Jones Family favorite since at least the early 1980s. Also known as "Blender Pie," the recipe came from the late Lib Keith, who had a hair-cutting business at her house and whose son took my sister Allison to her first prom in high school.
